Stimming and comfort

Roy

Does anyone do what I call apeing, I’ve always loved to lean my head to one side and put my right arm over my head so it touches my left ear and clasp my left hand. I often tap my right heel at a fast rate as well. It just seems to calm me. I thought when realising that I am autistic that I had cracked it, The truth is that I’m still on page one of the none existent instruction manual.

  • Hands seem to be my biggest thing. I also touch my face a lot- the past couple of years haven’t been the best for this, so the frequency I do it has really be bought to my attention.

    I am forever pacing backwards and forwards too. Especially if I have to make a dreaded phone call.
